I've been quizing over why people enjoy bushcraft, personally I like to feel connected to mother nature, as well as it taking me away from some of the less salubrius aspects of modern life, where I can just relax without a care in the world except where I'm going to build my debris shelter, or looking for those two trees the right distance apart for my tarp... I will be the first to admit I'm carrying more weight than I should, but I have nightmares of turning into a Rab C or Onslow type, staring at the idiot box.
How many of us are inspired by Bear Ghrylls, Dave & Cody et al, and want to travel across vast trackts of land with nothing more than an old waterbottle and a primitive made bow and arrow?
Or are we inspired by Ray mears and David attenbourogh and want to slowly make our way through the woods and see the fantastic display Nature treats us to when we are quiet?
Or are there those of us that have watched the likes of Threads, Dawn of the dead and mad max a few too many times and want to be prepoared for the aftermath of the global oil wars?
